In recent years,the industrial control market began to change after the advent of the Internet of Things era.The term”industrial control”has been redefined by the industry.It is no longer just”industrial control”.The broad sense of”industrial control”has taken on fragmented application.In addition to industrial automation,communication gateways,instrumentation,security monitoring,medical equipment,energy and power,rail transit and other fields have gradually been included.
In the current industrial control field,highly customized,diversified products and scattered customer groups are the characteristics of the industry,and the service life of the equipment systems involved is quite long.Therefore,the necessary components of these equipment,such as CPU,memory chips,power management chips and other suppliers must ensure long-term and stable supply,which also leads to the requirements of supply chain management The product reliability standards and pre-sale and after-sales requirements are different from those of the conventional consumer market,which has led to the emergence of a more professional and efficient integrated embedded product platform provider to achieve rapid delivery of complete embedded software and hardware systems for customers.
In order to ensure the ease of use of specific terminal equipment such as PLC controller,communication base station,distribution network terminal DTU,as well as the security and reliability of data storage,Chuanglong Technology and Jiangbolong have given full play to their respective advantages and collaborated with industry chain partners to jointly build a national T3 industrial core board,which jointly supports multi-scenario applications in the field of industrial control.

Market:well-trained and well-prepared
Before cooperation,both parties fully considered the needs of the industrial control market and learned that the application scenario has the following main characteristics:
1.Low power consumption,high stability
The industrial control system needs real-time data acquisition,and the core board and storage device with low power consumption and high stability play a key role.
2.Reliability and durability
The industrial control system needs to realize remote monitoring and early warning of equipment status and real-time sharing of monitoring data,which requires that the core board and storage equipment have high reliability and durability,thus helping to achieve data visual control.
3.Working for a long time under extremely harsh conditions
Industrial control equipment often needs 7*24 uninterrupted work,and may encounter complex and extreme outdoor operation conditions such as high and low temperature changes,strong vibration,abnormal power failure,etc.Once the core board or components fail in batches,it will cause high after-sales costs.
Product:joint attack and stable performance
For industrial automation,communication equipment,instrumentation,security monitoring,medical equipment,energy and power and other application scenarios,both parties have cooperated and integrated core board solutions matching customer terminals through technical evaluation and rigorous testing.
The national T3 industrial core board of Chuanglong Technology is based on the Quanzhi T3 processor design,and adopts the four-core Cortex-A7 architecture.The main frequency of each core can reach 1.2 GHz,which can meet the technical requirements of Docker virtualization container.In addition,the core board has good electromagnetic compatibility and rich peripheral interfaces.It adopts the national industrial components scheme as a whole,ranging from CPU,RAM,ROM and other major components to resistance,capacitance,inductance and connector,which are all tested and verified according to the domestic industrial standard(-40~85℃).

Focusing on the storage device and ROM,the core board is connected to the FORESEE vehicle-level AEC-Q100 Grade3 eMMC through SMHC(host controller),using SDC2 bus and 8 bit data line.In terms of RAM,the core board is connected to two FORESEE-level DDR3Ls through a dedicated SDRAM bus,using 16bit data lines respectively,a total of 32bit.
The two storage devices carried on the T3 industrial core board of Chuanglong Technology are evaluated from the aspects of read-write performance,MTBF,power consumption,electromagnetic interference,high and low temperature changes,physical shock vibration,firmware functions and other dimensions when imported,and have completed the simulation scenario test and verification of various devices,which can be adapted to multiple mainstream platforms and board models to ensure that the data storage requirements of terminal devices with long life cycle requirements are met.

Service:technology enables professional and efficient
Headquartered in Guangzhou Science City,Chuanglong Technology,as a leading embedded product platform provider in China,has always been committed to building high-quality industrial core boards and providing professional embedded software and hardware platforms.It has set up business and technical service centers in Beijing,Shanghai,Shenzhen,Xi’an and other places,and has successfully helped more than 14000 industrial customers complete the rapid development and listing of products.
Zheng Yangzhao,the marketing director of Chuanglong Technology,said that the cooperation between Chuanglong Technology and Jiangbolong,which has companies in Shenzhen and Zhongshan,Guangdong Province,has the advantages of”geographical advantage”and”human harmony”.The geographical location of the two companies is close,which is more convenient for product testing,technical exchange and pre-sale and after-sales services,and greatly improves efficiency.On the other hand,Chuanglong Technology insists on technology-driven empowerment of industry customers.The company’s technical staff accounts for more than 65%,while Jiangbolong’s technical engineer team is also large,and its storage equipment adopts self-developed algorithms,which has core technical competitiveness.The two sides have complementary advantages and provided great support to each other on professional issues.What’s more,the industrial core board is a mature solution for end customers.They have very strict requirements for each component.Jiangbolong’s product strength,brand strength and supply capacity accumulated over 20 years in the storage field have given us great confidence and also given customers great confidence,which is also the key factor for us to hit it off.
expectation
As various industries put forward higher standards for ease of use,reliability and security of terminal equipment,the market is more inclined to efficient,mature and complete industrial solutions for embedded products,and industrial core boards and storage devices are deeply involved.In the future,Chuanglong Technology and Jiangbolong will continue to cooperate with industrial chain partners to jointly develop new opportunities.
